Louisville's special (don't say needs, don't say needs) teams took yet another hit this afternoon as Steve Kragthorpe announced that starting placekicker Tim Dougherty has been suspended two weeks because of "conduct detrimental to the team."
Dougherty took over for freshman Chris Philpott in the second half of the Kansas State game and promptly drilled a 36-yard-field goal, still his only attempt of the season. The St. X product and Purdue transfer is also 4-for-4 on extra points.
The suspension likely means another shot for Philpott, who has missed two extra points and all but one of his three field goal tries, and a closer look for barefoot freshman Jon Ryan Payne.
No word on what Dougherty did to warrant the wrath of Krag, but you shouldn't have to look too hard for the most popular rumor.
So, yeah, beat Memphis.

It’s disappointing to hear this.
Especially since I once saw him moon Tom Jurich from a moving pontoon boat.

Tim did not finish his senior year at St. X.

Obscure Kentucky Statute Blocky
but to avoid having two points placed on his record by the Department of Motor vehicles for another moving violation, Dougherty pleaded nolo contendre to the lesser charge of “mooning Tom Jurich from a stationary pontoon boat.”

“…in the long run I predict that stocks will fluctuate.” The late Louis Rukeyser.
Let’s hope that soon that “rollercoaster,” described so incessantly by Maria, Kramer, Ratigan, and the other CNBC pundits, chooses a direction other than “down.”
